Network power optimization via white lists
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A white list generator, comprising:
- a processor that optimizes power consumption by performing the functions of;
node identification to identify wireless sensor nodes that communicate via a wireless sensor network;
slot/frame identification to identify time slots assigned for communication with each of the identified wireless sensor nodes; and
white list function to create a list of the identified wireless sensor nodes and corresponding time slots during a network initialization interval and maintain the list of the identified wireless sensor nodes and corresponding time slots.

Abstract
The white list generator identifies wireless sensor nodes that communicate via a wireless sensor network, to identifies time slots assigned for with each of the identified wireless sensor nodes, and to create and maintain a list of the identified wireless sensor nodes and corresponding time slots. The white list generator provides power control information to power a transceiver for reception of transmissions from each identified wireless sensor node based on the identified time slots corresponding to the identified wireless sensor node provided in the list.
